142nd TTT and Thanksgiving Table

We will be having 14 for Thanksgiving, so I am doing two tables this year. One in the living room/dining area and one in the breakfast room.

I want my table to coordinate with the living area since it is all one room, so I did a table in Aqua and Rust.

An Aqua and Brown stripe linen tablecloth creates a casual setting, so I kept the placesettings casual too.

I am using the same velvet pumpkin centerpiece that I had on the table, just rearranged a little and added the rust candles.

Everyday white dishes, flower salad bowls and everyday silverware. I did add a gold charger for a little bit of bling.

I found the aqua bubble glass stems on the clearance aisle of Pier 1 years ago. Perfect for this tablesetting.

I love the combination of the aqua and the rust, and the way it all ties into the living room using what I already had. That makes it even more fun.

I hope you and your family have a very Blessed Thanksgiving.

Please continue to pray for our Blogging Friend Ceekay ( Thinkin' of Home). Also we havn't reached our goal of fulfilling her dream to take her family to Disneyland yet, you can still purchase one of Laura's Elves or donate with the paypal button on my sidebar. You can read the whole story here.

Marty,Your table is stunning with the Aqua and Rust accents!!!I, too, have bubble glass stemware...only in clear! I love the elegant shape and texture they bring to the place setting! The addition of gold chargers adds a bit of luxe! I adore the overall shot of the dining table and your living room combination all nicely co~ordinated for the Thanksgiving Day celebration! Have a blessed Thanksgiving, dear friend!!!Fondly,Pat

Your Thanksgiving table looks so beautiful and welcoming. I can't see that your treasure your have on your TT (Thanksgiving Table) is your daily gadgets. They are adorable (at least to me, who don't have the same, living standard as you have in The US).

Very simple yet so elegant, indeed.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Day & a holiday in Friday. Whoop whoop... a quiet day for a banker like me, as long USA is on holiday.

P.S.I will see to it to send my donation to CeeKay(on w/end)and I will let you know if I encounter any problem. If so ever, I will send in away to a friend of mine who will be in Stockholm on NOv. 30 and will send to you or so. May God bless our bloggie friend.

Marty, your table is so pretty. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I do two tables two when I host it. Not my turn this year, but I will have a house full of little munchkins staying here for five days. Thanks for hosting this party.

I love the Aqua and rust, Marty. It is not the first thing I would think of for Thanksgiving colors but I LOVE it! It is fun to see all the elements come together. I would love to have a set of those turquoise glasses that you found on clearance. Love it- xo Diana

Everything looks so lovely Marty! I'm frantically getting ready for family to arrive tomorrow from out of state and need to get the rest of my table set. Thanks so much for hosting us and I'm thrilled to be joining in this week!Vanessa

So pretty, Marty. I would never have thought to use aqua on a Thanksgiving table. It looks beautiful with the browns and rusts. Your velvet pumpkins are gorgeous, and I love that aqua stemware. Hope you and your familiy have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I bought an elf from Laura, and I'm still praying for sweet Ceekay. laurie

Hi Marty! Your Thanksgiving table is beautiful! I used my chargers in the place settings, too. I haven't posted my tablescape yet, but I did link up my Thanksgiving turkey recipe this week! Thanks for hosting!Happy Thanksgiving,Leslie

Great colour combo with the rust and aqua and great score on those glasses from Pier 1! Thanksgiving here in Canada was back in early Oct so it is interesting to think about having you having yours at this time of year. Hope you have a joyous and meaningful celebration! Thanks for hosting TTT!DD

Marty I love the aqua and rust. It's very pretty together and I love that it even seems very relaxing which is exactly the way the best Thanksgiving gatherings should be. Great job on creating a very attractive space for your family. Happy Thanksgiving!

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty. Welcome, after years of living farther away from family, we got the keys to our new home on December 17th, 2016. Two weeks later we jumped in with both feet and the remodeling began. I hope you will follow along as I transform our "Builder Basic" house into a home that is a reflection of our family. Careful planning, tons of DIY and a sharp eye for design can turn any house into your dream even if you have a small budget.
